Chapter 195
Xiangguo Temple.
"Brother Du'e, I can't stay in the capital for a long time. You are the one who takes care of the Buddha."
Samantabhadra sighed, "It is the highest duty to protect the Buddha."
"But the worldly disturbances may require more attention. You must be careful."
Master Du'e nodded thoughtfully. He understood the meaning of Samantabhadra's words.
In short.
The Buddha is too talented and can be easily poached by other families.
The Buddhist family must think of some ways to keep the Buddha in their Buddhist family.
"But I think the Buddha doesn't seem to have much affection for our Buddhist family. Instead, he is somewhat repulsive."
Master Du'e said carefully.
Samantabhadra smiled, "You can see it, so I can see it too."
"Then do you know what the reason is?"
"I don't know." Master Du'e shook his head. In his opinion, the conditions given by the Buddhist family were already very good.
If he is worshipped as a Buddhist, even the abbot of the White Horse Temple will have to bow down and pay respect.
No one can refuse such a benefit. Why does Shen Wuming do that?
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva smiled and said, "It's very simple, because he is still entangled in the secular world."
"In other words, he can't get rid of worldly things. Of course, I'm not talking about money and power here."
Because he can feel from Shen Wuming's words that he doesn't pursue money and power too much.
"Then the only possibility is a woman." Master Du'e suddenly realized and thought about it.
"Then should we spend some time thinking about it, after all, my Buddhists also have the way of happiness!"
"If the Buddhists have such ideas, at most we can send some happy goddesses over?"
There are many schools in Buddhism, such as the White Horse Temple, the North Zen Temple, and the South Zen Temple, all of which are Zen sects.
The practice of Zen is more about understanding the mind and seeing the nature.
However, there is another school in Buddhism called Tantric Buddhism, which is relatively primitive.
They pay attention to various strange ways of cultivation, or the art of yin and yang dual cultivation, and they have gained a lot.
For example, the Joyful Goddess is one of the achievements of Tantra.
"Ordinary Joyful Goddesses are not qualified to protect the Buddha's side, but I have a candidate."
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva smiled, "That's why I left Luoyang, because I want to find that believer!"
...
"I have received the imperial order: General Guangwu, Shouting Hou Chu Pingshan, who has been working tirelessly, a wise minister, both civil and military, and has made outstanding achievements."
"Specially appointed: Jingzhao Shaoyin, Shouyang Township Hou, to enter the capital on a chosen day."
"In addition, I will grant you ten boxes of cloth, one hundred taels of gold, and one thousand taels of silver."
"I hereby decree!"
Guangwu Camp.
Chu Pingshan knelt in front of Mr. Gao with a group of soldiers, listening to Mr. Gao reading the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant Chu Pingshan, thank you for your grace."
Chu Pingshan swallowed his saliva and felt that a glorious road was unfolding in front of him.
He kowtowed immediately and then stood up to receive the imperial edict.
Chu Pingshan was already used to the rewards in the imperial edict, as the empress was always so stingy.
A powerful official of the fourth rank in Beijing was rewarded with only ten boxes of cloth.
The other gold and silver were equivalent to two thousand taels of silver, which was not very presentable.
But as everyone knows, this gold content is above the Jingzhao Shaoyin, and he was promoted to a township marquis.
Although he is still in the middle among the powerful, it is a small step forward.
"Lord Chu, don't let down the majesty's kindness, and you must do your job well."
Lord Gao gave a routine instruction in front of everyone, and then called Chu Pingshan to the edge.
"There are some things that I, the person who conveys the edict, should not say, but I have to say them." Lord Gao said earnestly, as if he had something to hide, which made Chu Pingshan's eyebrows jump.
"Please make it clear, sir. There is no one here. Heaven and earth know, you know and I know." Chu Pingshan had a serious face. He had already guessed something. The reason why the emperor wanted him to serve as Jingzhao Shaoyin must be some arrangements beyond the imperial edict. And these arrangements may not be known to others. Lord Gao sighed, "Sometimes I really envy you. You have been jumping up and down in the first half of your life, and you can still get away with it." "At this age, you are lucky to find such a good son-in-law." Chu Pingshan was stunned. He thought that the emperor had some instructions, but he didn't expect to involve his son-in-law? "Wuming...what did you do?" Chu Pingshan thought of Shen Wuming's past style. If it was not unexpected, he must have done something big again? He couldn't help but think of the previous restoration of the post of General Guangwu. It seemed to be Wuming's credit? If Wuming had not been close to Pei Mao, how could Pei Mao suddenly reuse him? "I can't tell you about the relationship between Lord Shen and His Majesty, after all, it involves the affairs of the royal family."
Mr. Gao shook his head inexplicably.
"You just need to know why you got this position?"
"His Majesty also asked me to tell you a message. If you have a good son-in-law, you should seize the opportunity."
At this point, Mr. Gao turned and left, leaving Chu Pingshan alone in a daze.
When Su Yue'e came over, Chu Pingshan came back to his senses and sighed leisurely.
"What's wrong? Husband."
Seeing him like this, Su Yue'e said in confusion: "I've been promoted, isn't it good?"
"Okay, of course."
Chu Pingshan smiled happily, then felt a little ashamed, "Do you know how you got promoted to this official position?"
"Master Gao just told me that it was all thanks to unknown people!"
"Wu Ming?" Su Yue'e couldn't help but be stunned, "Isn't Wu Ming preparing for the exam?"
"How come he has anything to do with His Majesty? He has already started working as an official before the Spring Examination has even started?"
Chu Pingshan shook his head, "I don't know what the specific credit is. Mr. Gao didn't tell me."
"But His Majesty told us to cherish this good son-in-law."
"This is pointing to me."
Su Yue'e frowned slightly, and then thought of something, "I probably know what it means."
…
Shen Wuming didn't know that Master Gao had favored his family members behind his back.
To him, it doesn't really matter.
After all, whether you have these things or not, whether your father-in-law is promoted because of you, will not change your relationship with your family.
With or without credit, his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife are all as affectionate to him as ever.
Like family members.
So in the next few days, his thoughts were still spent on Alando, and the relationship between the two developed by leaps and bounds.
If Alando hadn't looked so good, he might have been able to trick him into sleeping with him.
The main reason is that these barbarians don't seem to be very smart, and they are even stupider than Song Nanzhu.
